Empower public authorities to establish a long-term strategy for mobilizing investment in energy efficient renovation

BPIE is a partner in the newly started EU project, EmBuild.

EmBuild supports public authorities in Southeast European countries to prepare a long-term strategy for mobilising investment in the energy efficient renovation of the building stock.

40% of all energy consumption and 36% of CO2 emissions in the European Union arise in private and public buildings. If the EU wants to achieve its energy and climate goals, our private, public and industrial buildings have to use less energy. The public sector should be the pioneer and lead the way to an energy efficient building stock.

EmBuild is successful…

… if our focus municipalities have produced solid renovation strategies for their building stock;
… if more municipalities and towns across the whole region follow the example and produce their own strategies;
… if the renovation of building stocks achieves multiple goals: lower energy bills, increased comfort, healthier living and working spaces, improved air quality and creation of local jobs.
